GUEST,Peter Mork Little known '60s Folk Singers (1004* d) RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers 02 Sep 07


In response to Angela, 26 May 2007:

I am happy to see Seraffyn remembered. He was my father's younger brother, real name Donald Mork, based in western Massachusetts. Not sure "freak" does him justice, but he certainly lived an unconventional life, and as a kid I always looked forward to a visit from Uncle Donnie. The stories he told were spellbinding - he'd improvise yarns about an obnoxious mountain-sized coyote named Reynardine, whose two weaknesses were gold and mashed potatoes.

He traveled the world, and it was his great joy to meet new people and perform anywhere, at any time. It was a sad day for the family when he was killed in a car accident in 1963.

The Columbia album didn't really do him justice, in my opinion. I have some recordings he left behind which I think were closer to what he was all about.
